Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions iPOD through A/V Receiver

My pioneer VSX has an ipod port and special cable that plugs directly into my ipod. It's really cool. shows the ipod screen on my t.v., etc., etc. I know ACC and MP3 aren't great quality recordings, but my complaint is I hear show much whining and static and the hard drive spinning up in the beginning of each song. Does anyone else experience this? Does anyone else play their ipod through their receiver? Just a curious question. Thanks
